"Caviar or Marmalade? Reassessing Noël Coward"
Any West-Coast academicians thinking of heading to Texas for the MLA convention next January? Need extra incentive? How about this special session on Coward:
Thursday, 7 January 2016, 12:00-1:15PM
MLA Annual Convention
Austin Convention Center
Austin, TX
From the MLA announcement: "This special session will cast Coward as an object for ongoing scholarly critique by inviting discussion about Coward's unique contributions to, as well as his particular perspective on, subjects including genre, identity, critical inheritance, and modernism. The session will feature three papers and will conclude with a fifteen-minute Q&A."
The three presenters are:
- Sos Eltis,Tutorial Fellow in English at Brasenose College, Oxford
- Penelope Farfan, Professor of Drama at the University of Calgary
- Samuel Lyndon Gladden, Professor of Literature and Associate Dean of the School of Human Sciences and Humanities at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. He plans to issue a call for a collection of essays on Coward following the 2016 MLA convention.
